D300 and IP Cameras

I have a D7000 Nighthawk Router connected to my QNAP Server.  I use the server as a CCTV dvr.  I can access the IP cameras via DYNDNS so the port forwarding is all set up correctly.

 

I have just installed a D300 extender and again, have no problems.

 

My problem is that I want to move one of my ip cameras out of range of the router but within range of the extender.  Can I do this?  I don't see any ability to set up routing in the extender so need to know whether, somehow, I can still connect the ip camera to the server and whether I can still access the camera remotely.

 

Thanks

Devices on your range extender get Served IP Addresses from your base station. Have you tried connecting the camera to SSID of the range extender?

Thanks for the reply.  I haven't tried yet but that makes sense!  I thought that the extender would issue it's own addresses (don't know why I thought that!!). I didn't want to start chasing my tail without seeing whether it was possible.  I'll give it a go later.

 

Cheers
